This is one of the very rare automatic must-watch animes on my list... or at least, it seems to be the winter must-watch. As for the designs... oh yeah, Kanbaru is hawt as hell. Hitagi with short hair is... different, but appealing in its own way. Tsubasa is just odd, and Nadeko... well, I think she lost most of her moe-charm (one of the few moe I could stand, after K-on completely blew it up)

Lets just hope their animation outsourcing and project time budgeting isn't the trainwreck it was in the first series. I mean, yeah that's a failing hope - it seems to be characteristic of Shinbo to crash and burn on animation management during the broadcast of any series ... but that has been going on since Moon Phase when entire fight scenes had to be audio only with a still shot of a fireplace because the animation outsourcing screwed up so bad (fixed in the DVD but sheesh).

And yes, I'm looking forward to this very much.... but I'd almost rather it be a movie or OVA to get around the "usual broadcast series stumbles".

Nise is generally agreed to be the most fanservice-filled arc out of everything in the Monogatari series so far. Araragi's sisters are especially hit hard by this, resulting in some squicky moments

Spoiler:

I'm very much ok with this. If the fanservice quality of Bake is anything to go by. Read first three chapters of Nise, and I'm just dying to see a few scenes animated. On the other hand, I can imagine the shitstorm already.

Oh, I don't think my hands are ready for this. At least the gifs will kill me.

I'm glad someone said it Nothing can touch her ponytail look in my mind, but judging by two pics (lol), short looks very cute.

It's not really Shinbo's fault. Shinbo's just freelancer employee who just seems to love Shaft too much. That's similar for most of other major directors in Shaft, they are all freelancers. But many of them just stay with Shaft since they have fondness to it (such as Miyamoto Yukihiro, who basically LIVED in Shaft building when he didn't have a house.). It's Kobota Mitsutoshi's fault. He is the one who determines how busy studio will be. I personally just call him money whore.
